Don't you dare cry because I will GIVE YOU something to cry about!! 😂😂❤❤
Oh, I heard that a bunch.
Mom never spanked me. Dad did when needed. All mom had to say was, "Wait til your dad gets home". Ruined my day until dad got home. When dad got threw, I went and took a shower. Put the cold water on my butt. Lol.
@@scottmccloud9029I was raised that way and raised my children that way . They turned out successful and great as are my grandchildren.
Is that what he said? I couldnt understand him
Or how about: "This is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you!"
Right. "You don't show it, though."
@@lorenzoparedes2306 I heard that but not from my parents. I got a whooping from my friends parents when I got in trouble over their house 😂
We just had to take a book to read. I'm 71 and still keep a book of short stories in my car for when I have to wait on something.
You're absolutely right about that. My parents weren't afraid of us kids like they are today, quit giving kids their way all the time
100 percent parents are failing kids and society
Nice coping mechanism boomer
I was so sorry to hear of his passing . RIP Amen.
A funny man who will live on forever as long as there are videos like this. Thanks for the laughs James
So true. Kids and young people today constantly need entertainment. They can’t just sit in a bus, car, train or plane and look out the window. They must be entertained! I’m 65. I can fondly recall playing I Spy on car trips with my parents. Or just taking in the changing scenery as we drove around. My mother pointing out cows, sheep, lambs, birds etc as we drove to our relatives who lived in the country. Now, if they don’t have their DVD’s, phones, game boys, iPads or even just a small game they’re besides themselves. Sad.
Absolutely true!
Mainly because back then all we had was I spy. Or just going to sleep.
I played this too, and I used to read all the street signs.
And you guys didnt? Stop being salty
Dam* so true, brings back memories of traveling with my parents. My mom had a switch in the front seat.
I love listening to James Gregory on the John-Boy and Billy Big Show.
The back hand over the front seat to the back cured travel problems I learned how to duck lol
Some times I didn't 😂😂
Love the Elvis comments!
Our mamas knew how to take care of rowdy kids. Very very few of my generation climbed bell towers with automatic weapons and thinned the population. Our moms would be waiting on us to climb down to give us an attitude adjustment to our butts and we knew it.
In our case it was the rattle of cooking ware as our mother opened the kitchen drawer containing the "wooden spoon"
I spoke to a guy last night who spent $120,000 on a pickup.
They buy a new phone everytime Apple comes with a new one!
But do they though?
That "next generation" started moving into my area close to 40 years ago. They had a flashy car in the driveway and nice furniture on the first floor. Inside the garage was the other car (15 year old Ford) and upstairs the mattress was on the floor. We called them 10 cent millionaires. BTW, they came here because their company offered to help pay for the move and gave them a raise, which sounded great... till they found out what it costs to live on the east coast near NYC.
I agree. But I remember my parents talking about their parents; pretty much the same thing.
It's pretty much true i worked with a person who did repairs on homes in a ritzy city and said that some of them didn't have a stick of furniture big house just for looks
I personally think a lot of the worlds modern problems started the minute asswhoopings started going out of style. I can think of about 37 people right off the top of my head who clearly didn’t get enough of them when they was growing up.
Another thing that is missing is school yard fist fights between boys in junior grades. If your horrified at such a thing you don't understand how physical courage is developed in men or why it is needed
With my parents the stare was enough lol
@@James-kv6kb not me. My head was hard. 😆
@@philomelodia You're going to have to translate into Australian lol
@@alantaylor3910 The home environment I grew up in was kinda rough but there was tough love there too. So, when my own kids fought among themselves, my wife (who grew up in an “academic” household with only female siblings) was horrified. I would just think, “My kids are like chips off the ol’ block.” (But I’d get pi$$ed off if they broke stuff.) These years later, they’re all past it now. No worries, they got it out of their systems and weren’t smothered by having a “helicopter parent” dad.
Makes ya think,doesn't it???
The younger people better listen up
Sorry to inform you but they won't, to busy with being on their phones, playing video games, and keeping up with ten thousand people and trying to spend more money than the next person. I'm in my mid 50s and trying to save a few $ while younger people are spend,spend, spend. Just my opinion.
@@roxannestone7577 but didn't we all know everything in our earlier years?
Most Indubitably True 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Common sense reigns! Beats me why people think it's cool to be in debt.
I ask myself that question everyday. They want shinny things and need credit card to buy groceries.
Ask Trump
It's called living within your means. If you're comfortable living on the edge so be it. I know people that constantly max out their cards & make minimum payments. At that rate they'll never be debt free. Own up to who & what you are.
And they don't or won't work!
WHY ? because only a few of them will work , rest live off Grandma !
True ❤
...mmm not so much comedy .... just pure FACTS !
This is SO true and while funny here, it is tragic in real life. I see young couples making big payments on a $60,000 SUV they bought brand new. And guzzling expensive Starbucks every day which REALLY adds up. Just a plain "tall" 12 oz. coffee is $2.25. If somebody had one every day of their working life of, say, 40 years that's $2.25 x 365 x 40 = $32,850. (I guess leap years would a few dollars more.) If that money were invested, with compound interest at an average of 8%, it would come to about $234,000.00 after 40 years. The magic of compound interest is something the government hasn't quite figured out how to take from us. Yet too few take advantage of it. And then there are those $150,000 student loans for things like "Art History" or "Ethnic and Civilization Studies" that really have little to no job opportunity. These people could have a VERY different future if they learned money management and more responsible decision making.
I make my 12oz cup of coffee at home. I'd say it ain't no more than a quarter to make that cup of coffee, including the price of the water to wash the cup out afterwards. (That's right, no automatic dishwasher here). Let me tell you about my ride sometime.
Well, you assuming they are smart.....but remember they paid 60k for a depreciating asset. All downhill from there
Sad part about saving money in the end the government will take it
Estate Tax
@@thomascurran6186 Not really. For example, for 2023 you pay ZERO federal estate taxes up to $12.92 million. Above that, you pay for the amount over $12.92 million. Most people can therefore do very well and avoid paying federal estate tax. Of course, the more people vote for democrats, the more likely that will be lowered. And there are a number of ways to mitigate estate taxes even on the amount above $12.92 million. For those states that have estate taxes, the thresholds vary from $1M to $9.1M.
He’s the Southern George Carlin
Yep, I listened to a young girl talking about how boomers ruined everything while she's holding her $10 cup of coffee and her $2,000 iPhone.
…you forgot the $200 nails, $600 makeup, $1,000 tattoos, $400 sneakers, $600 sweater…..
Plus $800 payments on her SUV, $500 monthly cable/NetFlix/AppleTV+/UA-cam+/Hulu/Amazon/T-Mobile/ bills.
Used to be a cup of coffee. The variations were: Regular, Decaffeinated, with or without sugar, with or without cream. Now, Spritz this, a shot of that, Cappuccino, Au Lait, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Pumpkin, Skim Milk, Regular Milk, even a drawing on top of the foam. Remember when only fit people (usually young women) used to wear Spandex pants and sweat outfits were for people who actually worked out?
Yes coffee was a dime
@@lorenzoparedes2306 … and I go further back, when the ‘variations’ in coffee were:
“you want some or not?”
😎
😂
He is telling the truth. People are always talking about how they are not trying to keep up with the Jones' but most of them are. They want every new thing that comes out otherwise they'll feel left out.
He's great
This guy's funnier than Larry The Cable Guy.
Because Larry the Cable Guy is a purveyor of hokum, shtick, and idiotic stereotypes. But this guy is authentic, and his country wisdom rings true and my belly laughs are real. He and (the late, great) Jerry Clower are gems.
No entertainment in our '39 Plymouth in the 50s. My mama never ONCE said, "Don't make me stop this car." We knew better. Barbara didn't play! She didn't threaten. She took action..
I love old style logic because it works .....
They are what their taught
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍 Awesome. Too Funny.
I'm glad I'm old
You and me both.
Bad parenting would be funny, if we did hot have to live with the resulting kids.
Yes!
#1 - They spend too much $$ on tattoos.
That look like 💩.
old people have them too, you been around a bunch of 60-70 year old bikers. it's a pathetic sight to witness
It sounds like you are jealous that you never did anything exciting in your life
@@willcal3679 That's exactly why I never got one... All my Biker buddies have them.
@@James-kv6kb I've been skydiving...😵💫
I agree bud. All the little darlings have got to get permanent pictures all over them. I bet if they were born with them. They would spending money getting rid of them
Old people don't have any money, either.
So true , folks today lack common sense .
With everything coming back into style , I can't wait until common sense makes a come back .
😂😂😂
Look out the window. There's a whole world out there for you to see, and it's free!
😂
Escalade fully loaded $60,000.
Bahahaha.
check the original date on the video......
Really depends. They've been convinced they need expensive college degrees because they want cushy jobs with quick money instead of doing blue collar jobs. Add in they need to live in HCOL cities to make use of that expensive toilet paper in oversaturated job markets, and all the 'perks' they demand their employers have availability which takes away from being able to pay more workers with better salaries and its really easy for some of them to have no money.
This generation is totally concerned with image. That is why they have to have the flashiest clothes and vehicles and the latest technology
But I wonder why ?
@@chrishart854860 to 80 IQs
My dad used to grab my leg real hard and tell me....if we have to pull over, there's more where this came from. I was complaining about feeling sick. I projectile vomited over his shoulder, into the rear view and all over the dash. 😅😂😅😂
i went on allot of long trips with my father. literal hours driving but i always had to be quiet except if he asked me something. by the time i was 12 i had learned myself to sleep (get in a trance) sitting staight up not moving a single muscle.
😊😂
Today's kids don't look up. Why even take them on a trip? They wouldn't even notice you're gone.
👍
Baloney. TVs have come way down in price. The minimum wage was raised at least twice a decade for many decades prior to the 1980s. In the early 1970s a average price of a new car was around $3500 (now it's 10xs that). Rent & homes were a fraction of what they are nowadays. A teenager could graduate HS & get a union factory job or union job without getting into deep student loan debt "back in the day". The Federal minimum wage has not been raised since the 2000s.
If I had kids I'd raise them like I got raised. Plenty of spanks whippings and "DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME!" replies...
I think he looks like an older Sam Kinnison.
I couldnt hear the last joke.. what did he say?
Laziness and bidenomics is my guess
The generation that has benefited the most but also have voted against that for the rest of us over their 50+ years of voting?
Baby Boomers.
You know why I'm in debt? 4 years of college and 4 years of graduate school.
Many kids today have more money than their parents. It is a tax thing.
Most young people , not all but most. WONT WORK !
Sam Kinison is still alive?
Will miss.....
im assuming this is a older bit i just bought a 80 inch tv for like $750 lol
You het paid what you sre worth. Donot like the pay then do not take the job. Someone is in line that will take it. And thrive. 😂
Young people have no money because the house that Gregory bought for $29,000 now cost $1,400,000 because of politicians that people his age voted for in the 1970's onwards. But Gregory says its because they have a $5,000 tv.
Bidenflation
my tv cost $140 and ive been using it for a decade, im 36 years old, ive owned 3 televisions over the course of my life, the second i still have, and the first was a several decade old box tv that was given to me when i was 12 years old
Funny but I just bought a TV for $150? Does James get out much? How much did a 1br apartment go for when you were young Jimmy? You don't know what you are talking about!
1. Poor wages. 2. Hyperinflationary Obiden economy
And don't forget dictatorial mask mandates, the WOKE culture and so-called political correctness that makes everybody walk on eggshells around everyone else. Say one wrong word, and you're out the door! Fairness? What's THAT?
Overpriced useless degrees and those degrees making it so they have to live in HCOL areas. Yes, some are dumb as bricks with money but there are plenty who aren't but still have no money due to actions of past generations and current economy.
Dems trying to raise minimum wage. Shot down by Republicans. Inflation from Trumps Covid policy.
Wow this comedy is so old! At best these jokes are 15 years old but probably older than that. Just like someone from the great depression to recycle something as long as you can.
Funny guy, but he does mumble pretty bad and it's hard to hear everything he says.
because of the baby boomers greed and delusional decision making simply put...
Expecting the next generation to pay for their retirement. Wile we get nothing in return. I think we have a $10 trillion student dept now, crazy thing is they are not even going to pay them the money to pay that dept back anyway.
@@chrishart8548boomers are why you can't spell ?
@@mikelgeren149 correct. The education system failed me
@@chrishart8548 you failed yourself
@@mikelgeren149 I need to stay away from you tube comments anyway so. I won't be improving my spelling any time soon.
That last joke, I couldn't understand what he was saying, so missed what was so funny. 😒
RIP
Because their satisfied with living in Mommy's basement, sponging for whatever they can get, pure laziness! 👍
BECAUSE GREEDY CORPORATIONS WON"T PAY THEM A DECENT WAGE
would you pay them to do the amount of work they can usually handle? It's no wonder they can't make a buck!
Yes and no. Some of those places could pay more but that would require getting rid of a lot of the unnecessary perks they say they 'need' to be productive. They all go for the same degrees so the job markets also wind up oversaturated- not enough jobs to go around and if they have to create positions to accommodate, that lessens the salaries they can pay.
It's not just us being lazy/bad with money but it's also not just the fault of the companies being greedy. I'm all for supporting yourself but one spouse working, one spouse staying home/working part time really was the best thing for people.
😂😂
